Visa approved!!! Congratulations and thanks for coming back to share the outcome. We are all just here sharing our experience and interpretation of the immigration rules/guidance. The benefit of a forum like this one is that multiple opinions can be obtained, even if they are different or conflicti...
You both are just picking only your desired words out of the guidance and then fitting them into your desire which is totally incorrect. You are only focusing on word : applicant's partner is not returning with the applicant to the UK to work . If we use common sense then will know that how can an ...
What 2 year evidence of 'a relationship akin to marriage' was submitted? we did bank statements, utility bills, government documents addressed in our names (6 each). We had a letter from the landlord/ property owner stating that we lived there together for 3.5 years. We also included snippets of co...
I am a numbers person so wondering if there is any correlation/ relationship between the speed with which a decision is made vs. the decision that is made (i.e. approved/ refused?). Can anyone let me know their experience please? No correlation on speed of outcome on whether it is a refusal or an a...
Hi all! My partner applied for the FLR (M) visa. So at the end of day Friday we received an email letting us know that the application was being prepared for review by an Entry Clearance Officer. Early this morning we received an email that a decision has been made on our application. I am a number...

I am already a Settled Citizen under the EU Settlement scheme and I believe my bf doesnt qualify as he has never lived in the UK. (if that is the same EU Settlement Scheme we are talking about). Looks like an overseas unmarried partner of an EU citizen would qualify without ever having lived in the...
I am already a Settled Citizen under the EU Settlement scheme and I believe my bf doesnt qualify as he has never lived in the UK. (if that is the same EU Settlement Scheme we are talking about).
Also, have you considered the EU settlement scheme instead of a spouse visa? Don't know that much about it myself but might be an easier and cheaper application process. Never mind, forgot you had applied already :oops: Haha! oops on my part I know. Would my "unmarried partner" be eligible for the ...

Yeah I think I misspoke in my original post - HE is applying for the Visa from the states. I am his sponsor but he is submitting all the documentation/ application etc. That is the standard procedure as application has to be made from the country of origin/legal residence I have spoken to a lawyer ...
There is no confusion in the guidance which is very straight along with examples over this matter. If still someone is confident then better to apply which op has already done then see the results. Hi Seagul, I think it would be better to get an overview of what you understand to be my situation. B...

Right, but that's not really the situation. The applicant's partner is not returning with the applicant to the UK to work, the applicant's partner is already employed in the UK so section 5.3 should apply (section 5.3.9 specifically mentions the use of overseas income to satisfy the second part of ...
Thank you! We were going off the back of this. I agree that this is a completely unique scenario that I don't seem to find posted anywhere else, so it is a strange one and is confusing everyone. I mean we have applied now and his appointment is on the 17th October, which is why I am having this las...

yes we have already applied. My partner's appointment is on Thursday. So how does Category B work then? Because everywhere I read, including their site, states that if the sponsor has been in his or her current job for less than 6 months, then they can take into consideration the income from the pr...

The information attached there seems to be for Cat A. We are applying under Cat B. since I have only been with my current employer for less than 6 months.
Hi All, I am a dutch citizen with full settled status, living and working in the UK. I moved over from California in March 2019, where I had been living with my partner (we are not married/ civil partnership). When I moved back, my partner not wanting to spend time apart, left his job and came to th...
